Adidas crown Golden State Warriors NBA champions … but finals series is far from over thanks to Nike rival LeBron James
WITH their 3-1 series lead over the Cleveland Cavaliers ahead of Monday’s fifth game in the finals series, many Golden State fans had already crowned the Warriors back-to-back champions.
LeBron James inspired Cavaliers to 112-97 victory over Golden State Warriors
The German sportswear giants, which happens to be the official apparel sponsor of the NBA, prematurely rolled out an ad promoting Warriors’ championship gear on their mobile site on Monday morning.
Adidas’ mobile home page featured an image of the Larry O’Brien trophy, along with the text “Golden State Warriors 2016 NBA Champions.”
That was in addition to links to “shop championship tee” and “shop championship hat.”
